As the subject says - I am ever so happy to be home in the cool Bay Area. This was the worst summer trip I have ever taken to NYC. I think it was >95F and near 100 pct humidity every day. My 6 y/o and I walked from the Natural History Museum to Rockefeller Center - okay for him since I carried him on my shoulders much of the way, but hell on me. Of course only a tourist would be so stupid. Boston sucked too, and so did Connecticutt and New Jersey.

One good thing, though, was that the women in Manhattan were looking very attractive and wearing rather little. I happen to think that NYC has a lot of very hot women - slim, toned, stylish, not pneumatic like LA or FL women.

If I were young and single, I'd consider living in NYC. If I were making a lot of money, which would have to be over $500K/yr, I'd consider it now. But being over-the-hill, married with kids, and not making quite that nice a living (yet, I hope), I'll just go there for business trips.
